ELAY EVENTS PROVE BIG
WORRY FOR COACH FARRELL
[chigan to Meet Stiff Competition in
Tilts with Schools of Big
Nine
Uncertainty as regards the make-up
the squad to be sent to the western
tercollegiates prevaded the Wolver-]
e tracksters last night.
It is expected that Farrell will take
ong entries for the pole vault, the
gh jump, shot put, 75-yard dash, and
ssibly the hurdles.s
The relays are the greatest source of
>rry to the coach at present. Sco-
ld helped shed a ray of light into the
le relay situation by reporting that
e Charley horse was showing signs
coming around in good shape in the
xt couple of days. If Le is in shape
ain it is almost certain that the 440
Dn will go.
Steve has decided that the two-mil-
s stand a much better chance of cop-
ag a place than the four-milers, and
11 send a two mile team if he sends
her.
Will Hold Try-outs Today.
rryouts will be held this afternoon
determine the make-up of the relay
n who are to go, provided teams are
nt for these events. Steve will give
bunch of quarter-milers a chance
show their best by running against
ae. A similar method will be used
the half mile. The watch will show
each instance the men who are to
taken.
Fontanna, always a slow man to get
o his best shape, is expected to set
fastest mark he has made this sea-
a in the quarter-mile try-outs.
First Tilt with Big Nine
:ichigan is making its first ap-
trance in a big western conference
Eck meet since the Wolverines broke
h the Big Nine. Farrell's men will
urally be the center of the attrac-
a for the conference contenders, and
the coach is anxious to make the best
showing possible.
Hoyt of Grinnell Looks Good
O'Brien is looking forward to some
keen competition in the 75-yard dash.
Scofield will probably be sent into this
event as well, and the 440 anchor man
has been spreading quite a few sur-
prises this season. Hoyt, of Grinnell,
who captured the 220-yard event in the
Drake relays from ex-Captain Smith
last spring, will be entered in the
short dash. Hoyt broke the 220 re-
cord around a turn to accomplish the
feat. While not as strong in a short-
er dash, Hoyt can be regarded as ex-
tremely dangerous.
Among other notables to compete
against the Michiganders in this num-
ber will be Captain Smith of Wisconsin
-brother of Pat Smith. The Badger
leader took a year at Michigan before
entering his present school, and his
efforts will be watched with interest.
He won the western outdoor intercol-
legiates last spring, and is probably
the man to fight for premier honors.
Dopesters Pick Winners
Barker and Brightmore, of North-
western, and Carroll, of Illinois, are
all me who have seen fast competi-
tion. Graham and Fisher, of Chicago,
are picked as long shots in the pole
vault. Both have hovered around the
12 foot mark more than once. Lang
of the Illini, is another man Kesler;

PITCHING STAFF OF 25 GIVES
PROMISE FOR FINE TWIRLERS
First Cut Must Be Made Soon So as
to Reduce Overcrowded Con-
dition in Gym
Yesterday's practice entertained
more than 60 candidates for the team.
Probably the largest attendance at
baseball practice since the season
opened received a fast workout.
Several new men turned out for the
first time, raising the total number
of canuidates proportionately. New-
comers are cropping out plentifully
and causing some of the earlier birds
much food for thought.
Work within the cage is progress-
ing rapidly, the 25 twirlers who are
working out are more than keeping the
receiving staff busy. Of the pitching
department, several men are looking
good and competition among the hurl-
ers bids fair to be as keen, if not even
more so, than that in any other de-
partment of the game. The number
of men who have had Varsity experi-
ence complicates the matter some-
what for the new men. Shorty Mil-l
ler, Ohlmacher, Birmingham, and Joe
Robins, although the latter has not as
yet been out for regular work, will;
all have the call to a certain extent
over the rest. Among the other can-
didates Parks, Glenn, Lush, McAllister,
Getts, Niemann, and others are show-
ing lots of stuff and should make the
race for pitching honors on the 1917
team as warm as any during the lastI
two seasons.
Whether any George Sislers will bea
uncovered is a doubtful question, but
all the dope points to the fact that thet
spring twirling staff should be one of
the best all-round departments that
Michigan has had since the famous
Sisler's time. Shorty Miller can un-
doubtedly be relied upon in the box,
and with Joe Robins probably will ber
the one with past Varsity experiencet
to do the greater part of the mound_
work. Parks and Glenn of last year's
All-fresh are among the most likely
of the new men, although it is too early
in the season to make any rash predic-
tions in justice to the other candi-
dates who have not had the opportun-

event, the feature of a big evening.
None of the men which the coach has
numbered on his roll at present are
capable of making good performances
in a half dozen different numbers.

High school basketball results in
the southern and western part of the
state show close races that may not
be settled until the state. champion-
ship is played off at the basketball in-
terscholastic to be played in Water-
man gym on March 22, 23, and 24.
Eleven teams have entered into the
play, with no way appearing to pick
first choice by comparative scores.
Jackson, a strong tem in this part
of the state, lost to Battle Creek 14-20
and to Kalamazoo 17-44, but won from
Ann Arbor 55-8, from Lansing 32-22,
and from Detroit Central 28-21. Kala-
mazoo Central, besides winning from
Jackson, also won from Sturgis 30-11,
but lost to Coldwater 16-23 and to
Grand Rapids Central 21-2 6. Cold-
water also beatMarshall 26-17.
Grand Rapids Central has three
other important victories in addition
to the one over Kalamazoo, winning
from Detroit Northwestern 25-19, from
Lansing 29-28, and from Grand Rap-
ids Union 27-23. Grand Rapids South-
ern seems to have been the goat, los-
ing to Western State Normal 7-28, to
Sparta 9-44, to Hollandi 11-28, to
Saranac 16-29, and to Detroit North-
western 12-35. Grand Rapids Union
lost to Grand Haven 13-18 and to
Grand Rapids Central 23-27, but car-
ried off the honors from Holland 14-12
and from Muskegon 27-20.
Ann Arbor has lost three big games,
to Detroit Northwestern 15-33, to De-
troit Central 13-35, and to Jackson
5-55. Western State Normal won from
both Sturgis and Grand Rapids South-
ern. Sturgis lost to Western State
Normal and to Kalamazoo Central.
Lansing won from Owosso 33-25 and
from Bay City Eastern 25-20, but lost
to Grand Rapids Central 28-29 and to
Jackson 22-32.
FRESH TRACK MEN TO CHOOSE
LEADER AT MEETING TONIGHT
Michigan's 1920 All-fresh will elect
a captain for the present season to-
morrow afternoon at a meeting to be
held in the trophy room of Waterman

the gathering for 5 o'clock.

ity to show their wares.
The new nets were due to arrive
yesterday, according to advices from
the athletic office. But thus far, they
have failed to make their much
heralded appearance. The arrival of
the nets would be a material aid to
the coach, as batting practice could be
started immediately, and the squad
shaved down to a more workable size.
The coach stated that he could not
say just when a cut in the squad would
be made. At present the number of
candidates is rather large, and is
seemingly on the increase, so that a
process of subtraction will probably
be in order in the near future.
MAT MEN PLAN FOR
BIGGEST TILT EVER
Formulate New Rules and Reclassify
Entrants for 1917 Wrest-
ling Bouts
Michigan's mat artists have decided
to stage their annual wrestling tourna-
ment beginning March 7. From pres-
ent indications, this year's affair is go-
ing to be bigger and better than ever.
Manager F. D. Reider at the wrest-
lers' meeting presented a list of rules
and regulations which the club de-
cided to adopt for this season's
matches.
Two new classes have been formu-
lated for the 1917 tourney to take care
of those boxers who were distinctly
out of place in former bouts. The
welterweight class consists of all up
to 120 pounds, while the light heavy-
weight will take care of those tipping
the beam in proximity of 175. These
new classes are still somewhat a mat-
ter of conjecture, inasmuch as it is
not yet known whether there are
enough men interested to form good
competition.
Instead of silver loving cups, the
winners in these divisionls will' be
given caps with their class numerals.
0. S. Westerman, boxing and wrest-
ling instructor for several years, has
consented to act as referee in this
tournament. Several other judges
will assist him. The opinion of the
judges will be necessary only in case
no fall is registered.
Elimination bouts are to be 10 min-
